BEAT drifter by RoarOfTheEarth

[raw]
made by RoarOfTheEarth for LD 38 (COMPO)

My first Ludum Dare. https://roaroftheearth.itch.io/beat-drifter press W to change your color, you can only collect "Speedforcetokenobj" when you are the same color. A switches you to the left side of the road. D switches you to the right side of the road. BEAT<em>drifter</em>screenshot.png

Really hard lol but it's fun. I like how the continents move sort of jerkily, that with the old style graphics gives it a nice atmosphere

Really solid entry -- I really like the sun in the background. The clouds/continents were a little distracting, but perhaps on purpose? The audio feedback from hitting the different colours was a great touch, since it let me keep my eyes ahead of the car at the challenge ahead.:blue_car:

It was pretty challenging and fun! More focus on the music could serve it really well! I enjoyed it, good luck!

Oof, this is pretty tough! I really like the simple but challenging mechanics. The different notes for each color and the feedback when I get one wrong is a great way to understand how I'm doing entirely via sound. The simple bright colors help a lot there too. I played this a couple times to try to find the groove, so you definitely had me hooked!

My one big issue is that W isn't an intuitive key for switching colors. I'd expect spacebar. Having it be a directional key throws me off, since my brain wants it to move me UP, not change my color but leave me stationary. It took me a couple tries to get used to those controls.

It's pretty satisfying getting those notes right after switching colours. Nice entry!
